Another appointment with history for Palma Futsal. The Mallorcan team is playing for the first time in its history to be champion of the regular stage of the Primera División and will get the home court factor for all play-off qualifiers starting next week. Antonio Vadillo’s men bank on themselves in the battle with Barca for first place in the standings, so a win in Cartagena this Saturday (6:30 pm / LaLigaSportsTV) will confirm them as the best team in the regular season, an honorary position With which they would sign the best classification in their history, destroying all their records to date.
The accounts are very clear: a win against Djambi Cartagena or Barça Movistar Inter doesn’t win on the track. Either combination would give the Majorcans first place as they have a one-point advantage over the Catalan team and, in addition, have won on direct goal average. Of course, the game will not be easy, rather the opposite. Djimba Cartagena, classified third, comes into the season in top form, with one of the most powerful squads in the championship and as a team focusing on the fight for the title. The Murcian team has six wins in the league and has beaten Barca or Jaen Paraíso Interior among others.
The match will need the best version of Mallorca Palma to break a new ceiling in what has been a dream season for futsal. He is already guaranteed a perfect league finish with his best score with this format and has barely four defeats in the entire competition. Now he has a historic opportunity to close out the best possible classification on a last day in which Wadillo’s men know they must not be aware of anything other than their match, which requires them to focus on all five senses. would need to be done. In the games, the coach will not be able to count on Gordillo, who is still out of the squad due to discomfort in recent weeks, or Fabinho and Carlos, who are playing in the Club World Cup with the U21 team in Brazil.
«We need to win to be first in the regular season, this is a historic occasion. It was not one of our main objectives as a priority, but the truth is that it is a very good challenge. The last few seasons at the regular league level have been fantastic. Getting to the last day by virtue of being able to finish first is a very good challenge and will give us the possibility to have the home court factor in our favor”, Wadillo highlighted in the previous one.
